16 bits mask

[piko]

Hi. I'm trying to write a small application that is running 16 leds turning them on and off on a specific sequence. I made an array of 16bit values that is masked to reveal if a given led should be on or off.

I don't see anything wrong with your code. I would look at the .lst file and see what the assembly code for that section is doing. That usually tells me what I have done wrong in my C code.

If you can't make it work, post a small version of the program that
demonstrates the problem. It must be compilable without errors.
It must have the #include, #fuses, and #use delay() statements
and a main(). It must be short (50 lines max).

Post a description of the LED circuits, including component values
and part numbers (if relevant).

Post your compiler version.

Tell us if this code is being tested on actual hardware, or if it's a Proteus
simulation.

Thanks guys. Actually I discovered that my problem was the PIC itself. I swapped to another chip (same model) and it was working fine...

I can't believe I wasted 1 hour on that while it was only a bugged pic

I will post my code when I'm done for the community to use.

Thanks again.

As a separate comment, why not look at the inbuilt 'bit test' function, rather than using the mask?.

Best Wishes

C at least offers a shift operator that also can do the job.
